Expensive! Bad Service! But still worth the view! Tip: you don't necessarily have to buy something to enjoy the view!
Jen FryOctober 29, 2013
Godiva martini + view from the ladies'
A. Jordan FischetteDecember 16, 2011
View? Amazing. Atmosphere? Incredible. Service? Non-Existent.
Morten Ryde Holm-HansenFebruary 24, 2014
Great brunch!
Missy BohannonOctober 29, 2011
Rude service. Amazing view. All on all, an awesome adventure.

While the Observatory on the 97th floor is a popular spot, you'll have an even more memorable experience lounging, cocktail in hand, overlooking the same skyline. Read more

Been here 5+ times
Infamously rude and unprofessional staff. And boring cocktails. But alas, great views that u can't beat
Chris DeanerJanuary 15, 2012
Skip paying for the observatory and come here for free.
Deedee AghaSeptember 25, 2012
The women's restroom has the best view handsdown

Someone told me that the drinks here are way overpriced, but I don't think they are that bad compared to other high end places.
Yiğit GülerJune 13, 2016
The view is amazing.

Check out the pool on the 102nd floor.

Amazing view, medium food, awful slow service
Emily S.December 27, 2016
Views are incredible, but don't go on a crowded day. Service is poor - they are likely understaffed.
Allison LuckAugust 29, 2011
Higher than the observatory, & much nicer atmosphere
Lynn BaileMay 26, 2012
Peach martini is the best cocktail!
Brooke RaekerOctober 30, 2012
Great atmosphere and a great view!
Jason DazeyDecember 30, 2015
The view is great, but that's about it. Service is abysmally slow and drinks are expensive; even for Chicago.
Alicia FloydMarch 14, 2012
Best view of the city from the ladies restroom :)
Rachel BergerJanuary 14, 2016
subpar drinks, but great views

Feels a bit like a tourist trap... Bring your own-of-town friends, once
Martin AnderssonAugust 7, 2014
Drinks are OK, service is OK but the view is amazing
@jayelarexMay 22, 2012
The drinks are a bit over priced but you are really paying for the view.

They re-use cocktail napkins WTF?
Joey NowakMay 6, 2018
Total tourist trap. No dress code, no exclusivity, no view, no service, expensive as hell. Not the experience you’re looking for.
ATRJanuary 4, 2013
Great for a couples night out
Kerry NevelAugust 4, 2013
Great date night with anyone.

TOO. LOUD. I expected expensive, but not ear-splitting loudness.
Rafi RomeroSeptember 7, 2015
Views are good if you get a table facing south. Cocktails are mediocre. Meh.
Timo WeisJuly 27, 2014
Don't bother! Everyone was pushed into a room with no bar and no service. An absolute waste of time. #1 disappointment of Chicago.
Mike SilhyAugust 14, 2015
Better option that the lookout deck
Allan SpiersApril 6, 2013
I am sitting on a kiddie chair and the bartender has yet to ask if we wwanted anything to eat. They will not relocate us. Really bad service.
